PHONICS
Due to its use of phonics this book is more accessible at an earlier age than other "reading series" that rely heavily on sight words. Phonics is taught before all other reading strategies in schools and these books follow the same system.

TRICKY WORDS (SIGHT WORDS)
Children need to, learn to recognise as whole words. These are words that cannot be broken down into phonics at this stage of a child's learning. "Tricky" (sight) words are introduced gradually in every other book, building children's knowledge gradually so they can retain it.
